We Are Decision-Makers Too

Posted on June 9, 2022

We are included in the term decision-maker. We may not set policy in government, but our decisions influence who will be forming the government.

And we decide who we hang around with, where we work and live, when to pay our bills and if we want to improve our skills or market value to increase our earnings.

We decide what’s good to eat, what fitness level we want, what time to leave the party and where to put the cereal in the cupboard.

So be careful with that macro pointing stick. While the government of the day can direct broad. policy, you control thousands of more important local and personal decisions.

If you are not delighted by where you find yourself today, start looking to improve things straight away. Only you can do it. You are your own super hero. You might better start acting like it.

Decision-Makers Not Covid

Posted on June 8, 2022

I keep hearing or reading that Covid did this to us in relation to finance, mental health and the economy. It’s easy to say and rolls off the tongue without having to think much about it.

But was it really Covid? Is it really Covid still? Covid is a virus that can get into your body and might impact it. Many people may never experience it while others may have no symptoms, mild symptoms or severe symptoms. In a very small percentage of cases, it can even be the primary cause of death.

As a virus, it does its thing. But Covid doesn’t print money, adjust interest rates or make rules about lockdowns, essential businesses, social distancing, or travel policy. Nor does Covid determine the economic situation in any country. It is not a producer or a consumer.

Just like fire, Covid just is. It is individual people’s reaction to it that impacts other things in life.

If you like, or don’t like, where you or your country is at right now, then let the decision-makers know. It was, and is, them that are making decisions about your city, region or country. Don’t let them say it’s Covid. It’s not. It’s their reaction to it, so it is them.

Decision-makers around the world made different decisions and still the covid outcomes we’re similar. Some people were infected and a range of health outcomes occurred. The virus is still here but now there are a host of other unintended consequences to deal with because of decisions made and still being made.

We could all be a little more accurate with our words. The decision-makers have led us to this spot, good or bad, not Covid.

Your Health Matters

Posted on June 6, 2022

Don’t leave it to chance. Don’t be lazy with it. Be in your best shape. Eat the best, nutritious, natural food that you can.

It’s your one body for life. Treat it that way.

Eat better. Eat less. Walk more. Lift some lite weights, or cans of soup, for just 5 minutes per day. Make your body glow.

You’ll miss what you had if you don’t spend 10 minutes per day on upkeep. So easy to make it a habit. So easy not to as well. What type of person are you? Maintainer of your amazing body? Or the, ‘Who cares’, type?

Notice how this philosophy permeates the rest of your life. Be brutally honest with yourself – is this what you actually, truly want and would wish for, if a genie granted you three wishes?

Confidence

Posted on June 5, 2022

Remarkably, growing in confidence can be quick. Stand up straight, shoulders back, say, “I am enough”, and decide to be incredible or unstoppable.

Or you can build your confidence the old fashioned way by developing skills, building a list of achievements and improving all areas of your life. It helps to notice all these things and appreciate them.

Of course you could do a little of the quick version while working on the classic version. Either way, get growing your confidence!

Meet New People

Posted on June 4, 2022

If you have the chance, meet new people. Create scenarios where you meet new people now and then. New people can be the key to doors unknown.

Take A Walk In The Rain

Posted on June 3, 2022

I love sunshine. Warm and sunny are how I order up my days. Especially on holiday!

However, I do enjoy the occasional walk in the rain. It can be exhilarating, fresh and fun! The timing needs to be unimportant, like not during an outdoor wedding, graduation or concert.

But heading out in the rain means one more thing you have to overcome in a day. And it is an easy win. You can get a bit wet and then return home and change into something dry and warm up.

Rain can be fun. You might just need a mindset shift in order to see it.

Build Toward Great

Posted on May 30, 2022

What if politicians outlined their common goals, and their differences on key issues, and then worked toward those common goals while being mindful of their differences?

Imagine how much progress could be made! Especially if people didn’t mind whose name was on the statute, or statue.

If people just tried to improve the most lives in the best ways, we could leapfrog a lot of wasted time.

Who might be up for that?
